The name Mirny, literally peaceful, was used for this research station, according to its Wikipedia page, based on celebrating the name of the ship used during the first Russian Antarctic Expedition. The ship Vostok was also used to name another Russian research station, 1,400 K inland from Mirny.
Mirny is the staging area for supply to Vostok, which is accomplished overland. Vostok is the only inland research station on Antarctica supplied by overland supply vehicles.
